Parameters

hypothesizedMeanDifference

The hypothesized difference between the means of the data groups.
Hypothesized Mean Difference

probability

The alpha value (probability that the hypothesis is rejected).
Probability

firstInputSeriesName

The name of the Series object that stores the first group of data. Data must be stored in the first Y-values of the series' data points.
First Input Series Name

secondInputSeriesName

The name of the Series object  that stores the second group of data. Data must be stored in the first Y-values of the series' data points.
Second Input Series Name

Return Value

This method performs a paired two-sample student's t-test to determine whether a sample's means are distinct. This form of the t-test does not assume that the variances of both populations are equal.

Use a paired test when there is a natural pairing of observations in the samples, such as a sample group that is tested twice (e.g. before and after an experiment).

If either input series does not exist in the series collection at the time of the method call an exception will be thrown.
